President Muhammadu Buhari has commended Corps Members for their vision, innovation and hardwork which has positively affected several communities across the country.

He stated this during President's NYSC Honours Award ceremony held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, when he received 15 ex-Corps Members that suffered physical disabilities during their service year.

The group is known as "Hope Alive Beneficiaries". Buhari, who was represented at the ceremony by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo urged the "Hope Alive Beneficiaries" to see themselves as responsible leaders and lifelong ambassadors of the NYSC Scheme.

He commended them for exhibiting exceptional qualities while serving.

The president added that though, leadership comes with responsibilities and continuous sacrifice, the successes recorded should inspire them to greater feats in various spheres of life.

"I am challenged by the remarkable courage of the Corps Members who suffered various accidents while in service. The fact that they have gone through these harrowing personal injuries and are still determined to engage the future with hope and confidence is a proof that they will still experience the joys of great success and fulfilment",
"It is the exceptional individuals in the society who are the true builders of institutions and nations. Those exceptional individuals are not necessarily those from the wealthiest homes. Indeed, they may be from the most humble circumstances and they may not even be the most academically successful of their peers, but they are young men and women who somehow know that true greatness comes by serving others and our societies", Buhari added.

The President also used the occasion to laud the managers of NYSC Scheme and successive batches of Corps Members for the patriotic zeal with which they have implemented the cardinal programmes of the Scheme over the past four and a half decades.
